In this course, we’ll take some bluegrass standards and break

them down to ‘find your voice’ singing a lead, tenor

or baritone part.(and maybe bass if you’ve got the range.)

Some quick and painless music theory will help you to identify your

vocal range and match your tone and pitch with the parts in some

 3-part and 4-part bluegrass harmony standards. We’ll look at how

to take a song and go about developing good bluegrass harmony

parts for some old bluegrass favorites. We’ll look at why some songs seem impossible to harmonize and how to pick the right ones for your voice. Harmony Singing to back certain chords and chord

progressions, and using Nashville Numbers, triads, inversions,

7ths, and flatted notes will be in your bag of musical tricks by the end

of the course. You’ll take home the written harmony parts to 6 bluegrass standards. What’s more, you’ll be able to figure out how to sing

those bluegrass parts yourself. Familiarity with classical music

notation or sight reading is NOT required.

Bring your instrument , if you play one.
